CRAFT/FARM INSTITUTE - After surveying members and fiber practitioners as to learning and marketing needs, and undertaking extensive outreach, we began a program of hands-on and technical workshops in the Spring of 2013. Classes included ones on silkscreening, embroidery, spinning, garment making, and creating content for Word Press websites. Launched a WordPress site as an offshoot of mainefiberarts.org called Fiber Folio. This folio, or little online magazine, includes photo-illustrated tours to Maine fiber destinations. Profiled a blogging class at Haystack Mt. School of Crafts in Deer Isle, a quilt show in Augusta, a sheep dairy outside of Bangor, and other fiber destinations. Content is added on an on-going basis. Also, attended a series of professional development workshops and lectures offered at Maine College of Art in Portland to research topics and presenters for our Craft/Farm Institute. Attended fairs and festivals throughout the summer and fall.
